This card for the sign of Scorpio (October 24-November 22) is adapted from my book The Alchymical Zoodiac: A Celestial Bestiary (Imaginarius Editions, 2003). The figure representing Scorpio is based on the fiery medieval preacher, Tomas deTorquemada , the archetype, though misguided, of passion and devotion to a cause in the world which also characterize the sign of Scorpio. The book includes the twelve signs of the zodiac and four elements; the Sun, the Moon, the Wind and Ourobouros, the symbol of the cycle of life. Each sign is shown with its star constellation. An explanation of each sign and symbol can be found in the Artist's Notes section of the book.
